My wedding party stayed here for 3 nights during the weekend of our wedding. The house is very spacious, comfortable and well-stocked. Everything you could possibly need, they probably have it. The kitchen in particular was very large, which was great for cooking meals together. There are also plenty of entertainment options (pool table, TV room, a closet full of games as well as walking distance to shops and the beach). It made for a great bonding experience! The owner and their assistants are extremely helpful and accessible. I would definitely recommend this house for a large group!

We had a mini family reunion with 8 adults in California, including 3 nights in this wonderful, clean, interesting, historic home. The owners have transformed it into a a charming and welcoming getaway with plenty of room to spread out for eight people who occasionally like some privacy as well! The location is also terrific . . . walking distance to the grocery store and restaurants (try breakfast at Toastie's), and just a few minute drive to fabulous sightseeing and world class golf. We even took a horseback ride on the beach. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property.

9/5/11 We enjoyed your home. It seems to be unique among Pacific Grove properties in that it’s very large but also allows visitors to have some privacy! There are so many rooms that we easily spread ourselves out among them. The master suite is truly exceptional- huge but cozy, secluded from the other two floors, and beautifully furnished. In fact, the entire house is tastefully decorated and restored- a very warm, comfortable home. The center of the house for our family was the game room with pool table. We always had a least two players shooting pool and a cheering section around. The TV room was another favorite gathering place where we rooted in vain for the Giants to win. And finally the large dining table and counter with barstools held all of us comfortably as we prepared and ate our meals Thanks so much for making our stay so wonderful!

Travelling form the UK to a wedding in Carmel. This house provided an excellent base for a fabulous few days. We enjoyed the freedom of using such a large house. Great Fun!

We traveled all the way from Geyserville Ca to pacific grove for our senior trip. The house was so much fun we will never forget it. We had live music from our band Los Gatos, awesome movie times, and fun pool tournaments. We also met ruffle duffle and little orphanita, who we will never forget. But most of all we made everlasting memories, and our hearts will all ways and forever be in pacific grove. Till next time from the Senior class of 2011.

Altogether we had 10 people staying here and it was wonderful! We couldn't have had a better time! It was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and had a ton of charm! The online pictures don't do it justice! We had such a great time that we seriously contemplated buying a place and never going home! Thank you for such a great trip and vacation! We'll be back!

Great house, only blocks from adorable downtown Pacific Grove, and the beach. The trail along the beach that ran all the way to the aquarium and beyond was the highlight of the trip! Mornings began with walking the dog downtown, getting coffee and walking down to the beach. The house was great, the layout is fantastic for teens and older kids, with lots of space for everyone to do their own thing or congregate in one room. House had all the amenities necessary, and whatever we needed was a short walk away to the little store down the street.

My daughter was getting married in Pacific Grove. We had family coming from all over the country. It has been 40 years since my family and my wife's family sat under the same roof and shared a meal together. This house is so big, everyone could fit in here. The kitchen is well stocked. I cooked breakfast and dinner for the whole crew, we sat and ate together, laughed together and it was a unique experience. If you have a large group and you enjoy cooking, this house is a value. The owners go out of their way to making this a wonderful experience.

Excellent Experience

This was a terrific house. Everthing was in great shape and super clean. The relatively open floor plan makes for excellent flow. Places to "get away from it all" as well. We had a family event, and it was ideal. The owner's attention to detail most appreciated.

We enjoyed our stay. Home is lovely. It was a wonderful surprise for my 70th birthday to have our family staying together in the comfort of a home. Thank you for your comments on how we took care of everything. Our daughter Amy made sure that all was done as you asked of us. Who knows we may like to come back again. Regards...Sharon Volpatt
